It happened in Doha last Sunday. We were at the Villaggio Mall, wasting away some hours before our departure to Kuwait. Nory was running up and down a certain hallway when she was drawn to a kiosk called "Doha Candle" that sold, not candles, but TOYS!!!!! At this toy-store-with-a-deceiving-name, there was a three year old boy doing the same thing as Nory - checking out the stuff that childhood dreams are made of! Cars, trains, balls, and dolls - all boxed up in bright colours, being sold by a smiley Filipino lady that was thrilled to be working at that very moment. The kids seemed to use these items as conversation starters and began to speak in a language that I'm sure only the two of them understood. He would point at a certain toy and chit-chat, while she would stare at him and smile. She would point to a certain toy and jibber-jabber, while he would stare at her and smile. This interaction continued until the little boy's Dad hollered "let's go, Fuad!"
It was then that it happened. THE KISS! Her very first one.
Fuad leaned in and gave her the sweetest little kiss on her forehead. Then he blew her another one as he ran off with his father.
I have to admit that I was RIGHT SMACK BESIDE them when it happened and was too stunned to think anything of it. Then I looked down the hallway and saw her Daddy standing at the end of it with the "OH MY GOSH" face. I couldn't help but laugh.......
It's really only a joke that he minds at all. You know, that his daughter's first kiss happened at a venue with 11 of her uncles and his over-protective self. That his daughter's first kiss happened in a place where kissing in public isn't so much an acceptable thing. It's only a joke.....
Oh Fuad. He was a handsome wee thing. Dark eyes and long eyelashes. A heartthrob, for sure. Who doesn't love a forehead kiss (especially after an engaging and flirtatious conversation)?! It makes it all the more sweet when you find out that his name means "heart" in Arabic.....
THIRTEEN MONTHS going on THIRTEEN! This is THE LIFE.
